Water damage in your basement can lead to serious and costly repairs. To prevent this, it’s crucial to recognize the early signs of water intrusion and choose the right waterproofing solutions for your home.
At TerraFirma, we offer a range of basement waterproofing solutions designed to fix current issues and prevent future water problems for Oregon and Washington homeowners. Here’s a quick overview of our top waterproofing solutions:
1. Drain Systems
If water is seeping into your basement, a perimeter drainage system might be the perfect solution. TerraFirma offers a variety of interior drainage systems that are designed to keep your basement dry, clean, and protected from water damage.
2. Sump Pumps
A reliable sump pump is your first line of defense against flooding and water infiltration that can lead to costly property damage. We provide powerful, quiet, and highly dependable sump pumps, using only professional grade, cast iron components for long-lasting performance.
3. VaporLoc Wall Systems
VaporLoc Elite is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that protects unfinished basement walls from leaks and mold growth. Unlike coatings that adhere to the wall and can deteriorate over time, VaporLoc is mechanically attached to the walls and will not chip, peel, or flake, ensuring lasting protection.
4. Dehumidifiers
Even with a robust waterproofing system, basements can still experience moisture and feel damp, leading to potential mold problems. Our advanced SaniDry™ dehumidifiers circulate dry air throughout your basement or crawl space, effectively removing moisture. The collected water is easily drained away via a sump pump pit, perimeter drain, or condensate pump.
5. Window Wells
Adding or upgrading basement windows not only improves ventilation but also increases your home’s value by meeting current egress code requirements. Egress windows provide an emergency escape route and come in a variety of styles and colors. Optional lids can keep debris out and enhance safety.
6. Air Purifiers
The air in your home can harbor pollutants that trigger allergies, asthma, and other health risks. Our professional air purifiers are designed to cleanse the air, tackling allergens, smoke, pet dander, mold spores, viruses, and more to keep your indoor environment healthier and safer.
By installing the right combination of these solutions, you can ensure that your basement stays safe, dry, and healthy for years to come.
